Supreme Court rejects plea against CLAT PG 2025, advises petitioners to approach High Court

The Supreme Court has rejected a petition challenging the results of the CLAT PG 2025 examination, advising the petitioners to approach the Delhi High Court for further action. The bench, led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, dismissed the plea filed by Anam Khan and Ayush Agarwal, who had raised objections to the provisional answer key released on December 2.

The petitioners had claimed that the answer key contained errors in 12 questions, and they also objected to the short, one-day window provided for raising objections. Additionally, they criticized the Rs 1,000 fee per objection as excessive. However, the Supreme Court dismissed these concerns, with the Chief Justice stating that the Rs 1,000 fee per objection was "not a big deal."

In its ruling, the court emphasized that it could not intervene as the court of first instance in such matters, stressing the importance of timely release of examination results. The bench raised concerns about the potential delays that could be caused by the apex court's involvement in such cases.

With the petition now dismissed, the petitioners have been advised to take their grievances to the Delhi High Court. The move highlights the judicial preference for allowing the High Court to address issues related to the examination, leaving the Supreme Court to focus on matters of national significance.

The decision comes as a setback for those challenging the CLAT PG 2025 results, but the path is still open for legal recourse through the High Court. This development underscores the importance of following proper legal channels and the need for timely resolution of disputes in academic examinations.
